Springer Fork Issues

[Phrank Vee]

Hello. Does anyone have a springer yolk, and or spring for a Huffman springer fork, or something that can keep my 26” boys Huffman looking vintage. My blaster messed up, and i don't want to powder coat the entire fork, spring, yolk

Im in a major jam and appreciate any suggestions, advice on how to bring back steel?

Are prewar springs and yolks parts interchangeable with other pre/post war brands?
Thanks

Sometimes I like to follow sand blasting with Rust-Oleum primer and paint; perhaps different colors for various pieces?

Thanks for the reply. Ever have the metal re dipped in chrome or nickle?

I have seen some good results with metal polishing. Will have a dull aged luster. I had some rims blasted and polished. They looked great on an original bike. I think you have to clear coat or the parts will start to tarnish pretty fast.

No, sounds expensive; but I have used an antique pewter hammer tone paint for some parts. It is a bit darker or medium shade than some bright aluminum-silver paints.

I might have the parts...pre or post war or are they different? I believe my fork is prewar...
